Florida Hospital Zephyrhills Inc doing business as AdventHealth Zephyrhills,[2][3] is a non-profit hospital in Zephyrhills, Florida, United States owned by AdventHealth. The medical facility is a tertiary and primary stroke center that has multiple specialties.[1]
In the early 1920s, T. F. Jackson opened a two-room clinic on the second floor of the Touchton building in Dade City, Florida.[4][5] In late October 1926, he purchased the former house of Reverend H. N. Abraham for his practice.[4] He later moved it again several years later to a building west of Pasco Middle School.[4] On August 1, 1934, Pasco County, Florida purchased the facility and renamed it Jackson Memorial Hospital, in remembrance of the founder who died the same year.[4][6] Over the years several wings were added. In 1961, the older portion of the hospital was demolished.[4]
In 1981, Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation purchased the hospital.[4][5] In January 1985, it was moved to Zephyrhills and was renamed East Pasco Medical Center.[5][6] The property in Dade City was purchased by the county for its health department, later the social services department and the Sheriff's Office also moved into the former medical facility.[4][6][7] In 1999, East Pasco Medical Center expanded its emergency department, before it was expanded the hospital rejected patients, forcing them to go to Columbia Dade City Hospital.[8][9]
On January 1, 2006, East Pasco Medical Center rebranded to Florida Hospital Zephyrhills.[10] In early October 2012, the hospital opened the Simpson Breast Health Center, the facility is named after a local that donated $250,000 to the hospital's foundation.[11][12] On January 2, 2019, Florida Hospital Zephyrhills rebranded to AdventHealth Zephyrhills.[13][14]
On January 1, 2021, all hospitals were required to have their chargemaster on its website by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.[15] In a survey done in 2022, the majority of hospitals in Florida including AdventHealth Zephyrhills had failed to comply with the Hospital Price Transparency Law.[15][16] It was not until early February 2023, that the hospital was in full compliance with the law.[17]
In March 2024, AdventHealth Zephyrhills and Saint Leo University partnered to create a dedicated education unit to fill the nursing shortage in the state.[18][19] On August 29, 2025, there was a groundbeaking for a 35,000 square foot (3,300 m2) medical office building, HuntonBrady Architects was hired to design it and Robins & Morton to build it.[20][21][22] On March 4, 2026, the building was topped out.[23]
